Just a note from me, as it's important to say a few thank you's of my own. Obviously, to Greg and Lance for coming up with the deal, and well done to Mr Dave Bannister for introducing them to me. On the technical side, many of you know Sascha from Matech, on these forums - I can only say what you already know that his advice and knowledge of all things Ford GT is second to none, and his wisdom early on in this process has been extremely helpful in making this run as smoothly as it has. To Thomas Mutsch for providing his driving services for an independent shakedown of all four cars...there's no one better as he helped design them in the first place.
On to MarcVDS Racing...you will see for yourselves when you are next to the cars their level of care and meticulous attention to detail in getting the cars prepared and restored back to the Le Mans configurations. You'll love the Le Mans green position lights! In particular, thanks to 1st mechanic Steve as he did the bulk of the work on all four cars, and getting them to the state of perfection they are now in, which when you consider they had 2 years of very, very hard racing, they are in exceptional condition.
Lastly, thanks to the team at Marc VDS Racing, especially to Alex, Bas and Mr Marc VDS himself for making the whole process so straight forward. There was a huge amount of behind the scenes work going on, and thanks to their own exacting standards, and by seeing how they run their race team and workshop, it was easy for me to convince Lance and Greg to push ahead with the deal, having not seen the cars, the workshop, or met the owners.
It's been several months of very, very intensive work, and now the end is in sight, as the cars are now on a boat heading to their new homes.
Thank you to everyone who has helped with this project, and been part of the success.
Steven
